Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety (Convergent, 2019) was published from a series of lectures Henri Nouwen gave, never before published, edited by Gabrielle Earnshaw and authorized by the Henri Nouwen Legacy Trust. The lectures, given at a low point in his own life, argue that following Jesus remains relevant and necessary, and take up calling, purpose, fear and hope, presenting Jesus's teaching on love as the guide for the spiritual seeker and suggesting practical ways of living it out.
